In world of continual technological and cultural growth, the Networker has found his fantastic instruments.

In the artistic world there are some resistancesat the introduction of computer and other technological means, due to their costs, still relatively high, and to the fear that they could rationalize too much the artistic work.But computer and other means are like a pencil or a brush,the only difference lies higher evolution degree.
Generally one think to this problems taking up an attitude that exclude one or the other expressive technique. On the contrary it should be necessary to make them more valuable looking for interaction between them.I think that the technique must not be the principle factor of artistic operations,but only a wonderful and quick means in service of the poetic message.In this society which quickly devours products and images, computer is the ideal means of _expression.

Pierre Restany, in one of his recent writings, says:”We live in a postindustrial society, that is in a society which has not really surpassed the industrial stage,but is charged of it,totally saturated of industries. In this society it”s necessary to re-invent the relationship between the Man and the Machine, and nowadays the machine is the computer.

To make a new definition of this relationship implies creating the right and true conditions of a dialogue between two kinds of intelligence: The artifical and the human one”.

The Networker, through his own poetic and the contacts with other artistic realities,reaches in his own work a high degree of cultural and formal Contents, of which is now necessary to determine the new relative codes and rules .Computer and other technological means give many more great possibilities but VIDEO ART IS THE NETWORK !
